Check
March calendar. If you haven’t

now.
Annuals:
Containers:
You
can plant any container you want
if you can easily move it in case
of frost/freeze. There is
always that threat throughout
the month of April.
Lawn
Care—if you haven’t
used the Hummert with Dimension
for crabgrass prevention do so
immediately!. Crabgrass
is the worst thing to have growing
in your lawn. It is so much
easier to prevent than get rid
of.
Perennials: Some perennial
benefit from cutting them back
before they have gotten very tall.
Lythrum and Mums will get much
bushier if pinched back.
When Lythrum is about 8” tall
cut it back to 4”. You only
need to do this once. Mums
need to be kept pinched back until
July 15, then let them go ahead
and grow and set buds. Make
sure that you have fed all of
your perennials by now.
If you have already used the Start
n Grow, you are done for the season.
Only a few re-blooming perennials
need a 2nd application of Start
n Grow.
Roses:
Plant roses now.
We select the varieties that do
best in our area. We get
them bare root, trim them, pot
them in specially blended soil,
and grow them right here to give
you the best rose your can buy!
Add Back to Nature Rose Bed amendment
and use Bayer Advance All in One
Rose Care. This product
does 3 jobs. Feeds, prevents
fungus disease, and protects against
insects.
Shrubs
& Trees: April
is perfect to plant all trees
& shrubs. Mix in Back
to Nature Cotton Burr Compost,
and water them in with Mushroom
Stuff. This will get the
root system off to a really good
start.
Mid
to End April
Lawn
Care: Spot weed as need
for broad leaf weeds. Don’t
let them get a good hold, get
rid of them. Use Speed Zone
or Weed Free Zone. Either
of these products works well when
the temperatures are cooler.
Once it is warm/hot use Trimec,
it works better with the warm
temperatures.
